PGI is part of the European Union’s [[wine classification]] hierarchy, sitting below Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) in terms of regulatory strictness.

Outside of Italy, PGI corresponds to terms like Indication Géographique Protégée (IGP) in France or [[Vino de la Tierra]] in Spain. Within Italy, PGI aligns closely with [[Indicazione Geografica Tipica (IGT)]], both serving as classifications for regionally distinct wines that do not conform to the stricter [[DOC]] or [[DOCG]] rules. | Outside of Italy, PGI corresponds to terms like [[Indication Géographique Protégée (IGP)]] in France or [[Vino de la Tierra]] in Spain.
